Michael Andrew Jace, a multifaceted and enigmatic American personality, entered the world on July 13, 1962, marking the beginning of a life journey that would be characterized by a rich tapestry of triumphs and tribulations.
As his professional career began to take shape, Jace's remarkable talent for acting would eventually lead him to land a pivotal role in the critically acclaimed FX drama series The Shield, where he brought to life the complex and intriguing character of Julien Lowe, a Los Angeles Police Officer whose sexual orientation defied traditional norms and societal expectations.
Notable for his captivating portrayal in the acclaimed television series The Shield, Jace has further distinguished himself with a wide range of film and television appearances, showcasing his remarkable acting versatility.
Some of his most notable film credits include State of Play, a gripping political thriller, as well as The Replacements, a sports comedy, Forrest Gump, a timeless American classic, The Fan, a suspenseful drama, and Law & Order, a long-running and esteemed television crime series.
Furthermore, Jace has also made significant contributions to television movies, demonstrating his impressive range and adaptability as an actor. One such notable example is Tyson, a biographical drama in which he brought to life the complex and intriguing figure of boxer Mitch Green.
Additionally, Jace has also had the privilege of portraying the iconic and celebrated basketball player Michael Jordan in the television movie Michael Jordan: An American Hero, a testament to his remarkable ability to capture the essence and spirit of his subjects.
Jace's life underwent a profound and transformative shift on the nineteenth of May, two thousand and fourteen, when he was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department at his residence in Hyde Park, a neighborhood situated in the southern region of Los Angeles, following a domestic violence report and a 9-1-1 call placed by Jace himself, during which he claimed to have discharged a firearm at his spouse.
Upon their arrival at the scene, law enforcement officials discovered Jace's second wife, April, had succumbed to fatal gunshot injuries.
The inquiry into the shooting incident ultimately led to Jace's admission of guilt, and on the thirty-first day of May, two thousand sixteen, a panel of jurors delivered a verdict of guilty of second-degree murder against him. As a direct consequence of this verdict, Jace was sentenced to serve a term of forty years to life in a correctional facility, where he currently remains incarcerated at the Corcoran State Prison, having not been released or paroled to date.
